In October 2020 a cross-party group of MPs and peers, backed by Lord Ricketts, planned to take legal action against Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] over his government's refusal to order an inquiry into Russian interference in UK elections. The move followed the publication in July 2020 of the Russia report by parliament's intelligence and security committee (ISC), which found that the government and its intelligence services had failed to investigate Kremlin meddling in the 2016 EU referendum vote. The high court claim named Prime Minister Johnson as defendant.<ref>{{cite web | last1=Harding | first1=Luke | title=Legal action taken against PM over refusal to investigate Kremlin meddling | url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/29/legal-action-taken-against-pm-over-refusal-to-investigate-kremlin-meddling | date=29 October 2020 | work=[[The Guardian]] | access-date=30 April 2022}}</ref>
